The Baby That Nearly Was

by Leigh Fallon

Poem

A little poem I wrote as a tribute to 'The baby that nearly was'.

Miscarriage at any stage of pregnancy is heartbreaking. People find it hard to express their grief for the baby that has been lost. But, others too find it hard to express their condolences to the grieving parents. What can you say? How can we comfort them? There are no answers, but what we can do is acknowledge the baby that nearly was. I hope people find comfort in my words.

Now the last Foxe Moore has returned to Dunmore. The house and its inhabitants are eager to reclaim what is rightful theirs. As the house lays claim to Jenny, the battle begins. Jenny trapped in a world between worlds, must solve the mystery of the Foxe Moore deaths to release her soul.

While Jenny’s soul has been trapped, a malevolent spirit has been released. Vengeance is the order of the day and it will stop at nothing to achieve retribution.
